Hi Kev, I went trough that ordeal my suggestion get a pair of rubber gloves (like the ones nurses use) and pull on the hose the gloves will provide the necessary grip. Kev if that does not work use pliers and twist while pulling slowly to prevent damage to the plastic ring around the hose.

Kevin, where the hoses go into the unit, press the the top of the opening (plastic ring) against the unit and pull out the hose. It's really easy. I had the same headache too. Don't even need a tool. Clay.

the blue tool should be applied to the tabs behind the hoses to place back pressure in order to release the tubes.

Hi Kev,If you can provide me with pictures I can help you. I haven't done this in a while, but you should not need to use ANY force what so ever. If you are using force you are completely doing it wrong.

Just attach the hose to the white tube on the top of the blue head. Love it, works great! And when it quits working you can just buy replacement brushes.

Yes, it's a tight sqeeze to connect, the hose is cheap thou, if it stays twisted or if something is on it during storage, and flattens the hose a little it wont bounce back, which it can interfere with suction power, but is the only replacement I was able to find, with a little vac that works, like forever. My other hose had duck tape all over it, trying to keep it together, it worked for a while, until it was a flat hose :( and it was done. Good luck.

it has two clips that you have to press really hard .... but i used a skinny flat screw driver ... i released one clip first hold the hose and then released the other one and hose came out ...

I bought a beer line cleaning kit and cleaned all the hoses and took everything apart. Be sure to put some keg lube on the tap to be sure not to pinch/kink the neoprene washers.

Sorry Francina, but I agree with Blake and Bill. I took mine apart and spent hours trying to get the Jeannie back in the bottle, and I'm pretty handy and persistent. Finally gave up, and wrote to FrontGate (the catalogue I bought it from) and they simply replace it. It's the type of repair that you need five hands for (and little hands at that) to hold everything together to get to fit back in the casing. I saved the hose, but recycled everything else. Good luck (HJGoetze@aol.com)

Pull it strongly to remove. NEVER drill, there's a thread for the air coupler

Something I do is cut the water off and squirt the water out of the hose to relieve water pressure prior to returning hose into unit. I have 2 also and only one seems not to retract like it should and I believe there's a way to take it apart and make spring tension tighter. I've thought about doing that; but continue messing with it until the hose finally retracts which it always eventually does!

I hope this is not joke. You could wind up 100 feet of hose, then carefully remove half of the reel assembly, at which point the wound up hose coils will want to fall off from the hub. Provided, that you can slide off the hose coils, place it on the ground. Now you have to reattach half the reel and continue with the other 100 feet. After the reel is full, you'll need to take half the reel off again to remove the hose coils. Why would you want to do this?

If it has a pushbutton on the pump, you just push it to let the air out. If it has a thumbscrew, just unscrew it. The other way is just pull the pump off the hose.

Pull hard to pop the connecter off, cut the hose to the length you need, then pop the connector back on.

purchase a couple r similar to the hose coming off the machine (double male) add your old hose to the new and the new to the machine.

You detach it from the base and place your attachment tools on the end, use it, then place the hose back into the base. Easiest vacuum I have ever used.

Try turning off the water supply and emptying the water pressure in the hose by engaging the nozzle. Once that is done, pull hose almost completely out of the housing. Then give hose a short pull to start the retraction and do not let it retract the hose at full speed. Guide it slowly back into the housing.

try twisting any one hose 1/4 turn and repeat until you get the movement you want. it should move in different directions as it cleans

Yes, the hose keeps tugging back when your pulling it out. you have to hold it while vacuuming. not fun

Directions for this are very poor,you will have to figure it out using trial and error. Look at page 6,owners manual vacuum description picture item #14 hose,also page 7 inset #3.2 ,disconnect end from vacuum at the base and connect to stair hose #19--other end connects to wand item #2 see also item #13 this is where the hose connects to and you then pull the wand out and connect the tools to the end of the handle. It seems to be a very poor design .
